...many headaches which Rudolph must endure to earn his $16,000 yearly salary. If the street patterns of Cambridge were planned at all, they were planned by a disciple of Jonathan Edwards bent on bequeathing a tangled hell to latter-day Cantabrigians. The streets are often narrow, and they careen into each other at odd angles, forming the squares which dot the map, and clog the traffic. Besides residents and students, floods of commuters from neighboring cities--such as Somerville and Watertown--use the streets on their way in and out of Boston.

...Dunlop Committee explicitly rejects the buoyancy of its predecessor, the Committee of Eight, which in 1938 exhorted the University to "make a conscious effort to offset the natural tendency to academic isolation and the narrow perpetuation of its own internal tradition." That charge is an anachronism, and this report says that the University must consolidate its strengths rather than expand in a futile attempt to cover all fields of scholarship...
